Gordon Larson
"Stumbled across this place while looking for somewhere to eat and we weren't disappointed. The service was great, the food was good. I had the fish and chips with mushy peas, absolutely lovedddd the chunky chips. Had the deliciously moorish victoria sponge cake for dessert with a chai tea latte. The staff were friendly, professional and attentive. I'll definitely be back. The view from our table was tranquil"
